Auto Generated Agent Chat: Teaching

AutoGen offers conversable agents powered by LLMs, tools, or humans, which can be used to perform tasks collectively via automated chat. This framework makes it easy to build many advanced applications of LLMs. Please find documentation about this feature here.

This notebook demonstrates how AutoGen enables a user to teach AI new skills via natural agent interactions, without requiring knowledge of programming language. It is modified based on https://github.com/microsoft/FLAML/blob/evaluation/notebook/research_paper/teaching.ipynb and https://github.com/microsoft/FLAML/blob/evaluation/notebook/research_paper/teaching_recipe_reuse.ipynb.

1. Who Should I Trust: AI or Myself? Leveraging Human and AI Correctness
  Likelihood to Promote Appropriate Trust in AI-Assisted Decision-Making
Abstract: In AI-assisted decision-making, it is critical for human decision-makers to
know when to trust AI and when to trust themselves. However, prior studies
calibrated human trust only based on AI confidence indicating AI's correctness
likelihood (CL) but ignored humans' CL, hindering optimal team decision-making.
To mitigate this gap, we proposed to promote humans' appropriate trust based on
the CL of both sides at a task-instance level. We first modeled humans' CL by
approximating their decision-making models and computing their potential
performance in similar instances. We demonstrated the feasibility and
effectiveness of our model via two preliminary studies. Then, we proposed three
CL exploitation strategies to calibrate users' trust explicitly/implicitly in
the AI-assisted decision-making process. Results from a between-subjects
experiment (N=293) showed that our CL exploitation strategies promoted more
appropriate human trust in AI, compared with only using AI confidence. We
further provided practical implications for more human-compatible AI-assisted
decision-making.

2. Effect of Confidence and Explanation on Accuracy and Trust Calibration
  in AI-Assisted Decision Making
Abstract: Today, AI is being increasingly used to help human experts make decisions in
high-stakes scenarios. In these scenarios, full automation is often
undesirable, not only due to the significance of the outcome, but also because
human experts can draw on their domain knowledge complementary to the model's
to ensure task success. We refer to these scenarios as AI-assisted decision
making, where the individual strengths of the human and the AI come together to
optimize the joint decision outcome. A key to their success is to appropriately
\textit{calibrate} human trust in the AI on a case-by-case basis; knowing when
to trust or distrust the AI allows the human expert to appropriately apply
their knowledge, improving decision outcomes in cases where the model is likely
to perform poorly. This research conducts a case study of AI-assisted decision
making in which humans and AI have comparable performance alone, and explores
whether features that reveal case-specific model information can calibrate
trust and improve the joint performance of the human and AI. Specifically, we
study the effect of showing confidence score and local explanation for a
particular prediction. Through two human experiments, we show that confidence
score can help calibrate people's trust in an AI model, but trust calibration
alone is not sufficient to improve AI-assisted decision making, which may also
depend on whether the human can bring in enough unique knowledge to complement
the AI's errors. We also highlight the problems in using local explanation for
AI-assisted decision making scenarios and invite the research community to
explore new approaches to explainability for calibrating human trust in AI.

3. Trust Explanations to Do What They Say
Abstract: How much are we to trust a decision made by an AI algorithm? Trusting an
algorithm without cause may lead to abuse, and mistrusting it may similarly
lead to disuse. Trust in an AI is only desirable if it is warranted; thus,
calibrating trust is critical to ensuring appropriate use. In the name of
calibrating trust appropriately, AI developers should provide contracts
specifying use cases in which an algorithm can and cannot be trusted. Automated
explanation of AI outputs is often touted as a method by which trust can be
built in the algorithm. However, automated explanations arise from algorithms
themselves, so trust in these explanations is similarly only desirable if it is
warranted. Developers of algorithms explaining AI outputs (xAI algorithms)
should provide similar contracts, which should specify use cases in which an
explanation can and cannot be trusted.

4. A Systematic Literature Review of User Trust in AI-Enabled Systems: An
  HCI Perspective
Abstract: User trust in Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled systems has been
increasingly recognized and proven as a key element to fostering adoption. It
has been suggested that AI-enabled systems must go beyond technical-centric
approaches and towards embracing a more human centric approach, a core
principle of the human-computer interaction (HCI) field. This review aims to
provide an overview of the user trust definitions, influencing factors, and
measurement methods from 23 empirical studies to gather insight for future
technical and design strategies, research, and initiatives to calibrate the
user AI relationship. The findings confirm that there is more than one way to
define trust. Selecting the most appropriate trust definition to depict user
trust in a specific context should be the focus instead of comparing
definitions. User trust in AI-enabled systems is found to be influenced by
three main themes, namely socio-ethical considerations, technical and design
features, and user characteristics. User characteristics dominate the findings,
reinforcing the importance of user involvement from development through to
monitoring of AI enabled systems. In conclusion, user trust needs to be
addressed directly in every context where AI-enabled systems are being used or
discussed. In addition, calibrating the user-AI relationship requires finding
the optimal balance that works for not only the user but also the system.

5. Trust Calibration and Trust Respect: A Method for Building Team Cohesion
  in Human Robot Teams
Abstract: Recent advances in the areas of human-robot interaction (HRI) and robot
autonomy are changing the world. Today robots are used in a variety of
applications. People and robots work together in human autonomous teams (HATs)
to accomplish tasks that, separately, cannot be easily accomplished. Trust
between robots and humans in HATs is vital to task completion and effective
team cohesion. For optimal performance and safety of human operators in HRI,
human trust should be adjusted to the actual performance and reliability of the
robotic system. The cost of poor trust calibration in HRI, is at a minimum, low
performance, and at higher levels it causes human injury or critical task
failures. While the role of trust calibration is vital to team cohesion it is
also important for a robot to be able to assess whether or not a human is
exhibiting signs of mistrust due to some other factor such as anger,
distraction or frustration. In these situations the robot chooses not to
calibrate trust, instead the robot chooses to respect trust. The decision to
respect trust is determined by the robots knowledge of whether or not a human
should trust the robot based on its actions(successes and failures) and its
feedback to the human. We show that the feedback in the form of trust
calibration cues(TCCs) can effectively change the trust level in humans. This
information is potentially useful in aiding a robot it its decision to respect
trust.

6. Trust Considerations for Explainable Robots: A Human Factors Perspective
Abstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have drawn
attention to the need for AI systems and robots to be understandable to human
users. The explainable AI (XAI) and explainable robots literature aims to
enhance human understanding and human-robot team performance by providing users
with necessary information about AI and robot behavior. Simultaneously, the
human factors literature has long addressed important considerations that
contribute to human performance, including human trust in autonomous systems.
In this paper, drawing from the human factors literature, we discuss three
important trust-related considerations for the design of explainable robot
systems: the bases of trust, trust calibration, and trust specificity. We
further detail existing and potential metrics for assessing trust in robotic
systems based on explanations provided by explainable robots.

7. Experimental Investigation of Trust in Anthropomorphic Agents as Task
  Partners
Abstract: This study investigated whether human trust in a social robot with
anthropomorphic physicality is similar to that in an AI agent or in a human in
order to clarify how anthropomorphic physicality influences human trust in an
agent. We conducted an online experiment using two types of cognitive tasks,
calculation and emotion recognition tasks, where participants answered after
referring to the answers of an AI agent, a human, or a social robot. During the
experiment, the participants rated their trust levels in their partners. As a
result, trust in the social robot was basically neither similar to that in the
AI agent nor in the human and instead settled between them. The results showed
a possibility that manipulating anthropomorphic features would help assist
human users in appropriately calibrating trust in an agent.

8. Uncalibrated Models Can Improve Human-AI Collaboration
Abstract: In many practical applications of AI, an AI model is used as a decision aid
for human users. The AI provides advice that a human (sometimes) incorporates
into their decision-making process. The AI advice is often presented with some
measure of "confidence" that the human can use to calibrate how much they
depend on or trust the advice. In this paper, we present an initial exploration
that suggests showing AI models as more confident than they actually are, even
when the original AI is well-calibrated, can improve human-AI performance
(measured as the accuracy and confidence of the human's final prediction after
seeing the AI advice). We first train a model to predict human incorporation of
AI advice using data from thousands of human-AI interactions. This enables us
to explicitly estimate how to transform the AI's prediction confidence, making
the AI uncalibrated, in order to improve the final human prediction. We
empirically validate our results across four different tasks--dealing with
images, text and tabular data--involving hundreds of human participants. We
further support our findings with simulation analysis. Our findings suggest the
importance of jointly optimizing the human-AI system as opposed to the standard
paradigm of optimizing the AI model alone.

9. Knowing About Knowing: An Illusion of Human Competence Can Hinder
  Appropriate Reliance on AI Systems
Abstract: The dazzling promises of AI systems to augment humans in various tasks hinge
on whether humans can appropriately rely on them. Recent research has shown
that appropriate reliance is the key to achieving complementary team
performance in AI-assisted decision making. This paper addresses an
under-explored problem of whether the Dunning-Kruger Effect (DKE) among people
can hinder their appropriate reliance on AI systems. DKE is a metacognitive
bias due to which less-competent individuals overestimate their own skill and
performance. Through an empirical study (N = 249), we explored the impact of
DKE on human reliance on an AI system, and whether such effects can be
mitigated using a tutorial intervention that reveals the fallibility of AI
advice, and exploiting logic units-based explanations to improve user
understanding of AI advice. We found that participants who overestimate their
performance tend to exhibit under-reliance on AI systems, which hinders optimal
team performance. Logic units-based explanations did not help users in either
improving the calibration of their competence or facilitating appropriate
reliance. While the tutorial intervention was highly effective in helping users
calibrate their self-assessment and facilitating appropriate reliance among
participants with overestimated self-assessment, we found that it can
potentially hurt the appropriate reliance of participants with underestimated
self-assessment. Our work has broad implications on the design of methods to
tackle user cognitive biases while facilitating appropriate reliance on AI
systems. Our findings advance the current understanding of the role of
self-assessment in shaping trust and reliance in human-AI decision making. This
lays out promising future directions for relevant HCI research in this
community.

10. A Turing Test for Transparency
Abstract: A central goal of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is to improve the
trust relationship in human-AI interaction. One assumption underlying research
in transparent AI systems is that explanations help to better assess
predictions of machine learning (ML) models, for instance by enabling humans to
identify wrong predictions more efficiently. Recent empirical evidence however
shows that explanations can have the opposite effect: When presenting
explanations of ML predictions humans often tend to trust ML predictions even
when these are wrong. Experimental evidence suggests that this effect can be
attributed to how intuitive, or human, an AI or explanation appears. This
effect challenges the very goal of XAI and implies that responsible usage of
transparent AI methods has to consider the ability of humans to distinguish
machine generated from human explanations. Here we propose a quantitative
metric for XAI methods based on Turing's imitation game, a Turing Test for
Transparency. A human interrogator is asked to judge whether an explanation was
generated by a human or by an XAI method. Explanations of XAI methods that can
not be detected by humans above chance performance in this binary
classification task are passing the test. Detecting such explanations is a
requirement for assessing and calibrating the trust relationship in human-AI
interaction. We present experimental results on a crowd-sourced text
classification task demonstrating that even for basic ML models and XAI
approaches most participants were not able to differentiate human from machine
generated explanations. We discuss ethical and practical implications of our
results for applications of transparent ML.

**Recipe Name:** Analyzing and Visualizing Application Domains in Arxiv Papers

**Steps:**

1. Collect relevant papers from arxiv using a search query.
2. Analyze the abstracts of the collected papers to identify application domains.
3. Count the number of papers in each application domain.
4. Generate a bar chart of the application domains and the number of papers in each domain.
5. Save the bar chart as an image file.

Here are the well-documented, generalized Python functions to perform the coding steps in the future:

```python
import requests
import feedparser
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from typing import List, Dict

def search_arxiv(query: str, max_results: int = 10) -> List[Dict[str, str]]:
    """
    Search arxiv for papers related to a specific query.

    :param query: The search query for arxiv papers.
    :param max_results: The maximum number of results to return. Default is 10.
    :return: A list of dictionaries containing the title, link, and summary of each paper.
    """
    base_url = "http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?"
    search_query = f"search_query=all:{query}"
    start = 0
    max_results = f"max_results={max_results}"
    url = f"{base_url}{search_query}&start={start}&{max_results}"
    response = requests.get(url)
    feed = feedparser.parse(response.content)

    papers = [{"title": entry.title, "link": entry.link, "summary": entry.summary} for entry in feed.entries]
    return papers

def generate_bar_chart(domains: Dict[str, int], output_file: str) -> None:
    """
    Generate a bar chart of application domains and the number of papers in each domain, and save it as an image file.

    :param domains: A dictionary containing application domains as keys and the number of papers as values.
    :param output_file: The name of the output image file.
    """
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ax.bar(domains.keys(), domains.values())
    plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha="right")
    plt.xlabel("Application Domains")
    plt.ylabel("Number of Papers")
    plt.title("Number of Papers per Application Domain")

    plt.tight_layout()
    plt.savefig(output_file)
    plt.show()
```

**Usage:**

1. Use the `search_arxiv` function to collect relevant papers from arxiv using a search query.
2. Analyze the abstracts of the collected papers using your language skills to identify application domains and count the number of papers in each domain.
3. Use the `generate_bar_chart` function to generate a bar chart of the application domains and the number of papers in each domain, and save it as an image file.
